Told 2yr old DS NO 100 times today

[skinsl]

No exaggeration, 100 times at least, I am exhausted.
Just packed him off to nursery for the afternoon. See how they get on!
He does not stop, last thing he did was pull down the curtains!! It was kinda an accident!
going for a lie down.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. thanks x

i know exactly how u feel. i dont know how many times in 1 day i tell my son no or stop. i would like to know suggestions to lol. alot of ppl hav told me to try the naughty step or sumthin along those lines, but i know my little boy and he is just so hyper active that that just wouldnt work. mayb something like that would work for you x

how old is he?
Mine has been really good lately, after the tantrums started about 4 months ago, but the last week has been so tough. he does not stop. he wants everything he can't have, and cries dramatically when he wants it!
I have tried talking about being naughty/good and sometimes I think he understands.I have tried the naughty step before occasionally, maybe will try it a bit more seriously.

he turned 2 in october and is a terror sometimes. trouble is i am terrible at telling him off or being "strict" i just take one look at his little angel face and start smiling or laughing, i just cannot b serious. he defo takes advantage of that fact lol. i really dnt no how many times a day i hav to tell him no. i loose count. he just does the naughtiest things sumtimes, so i know how u feel when u say its tough.

ok, maybe not 100, but it feels like it.

It's not stuff I can remove really, e.g says he wants one book, then wants another, says he wants one jigsaw, then decides he doesn't and throws it on the floor, throws his dinner on the floor.Doesn't want his nappy changed, doesn't want his shoes on, throws them on the floor. Not major tantrums, just no mummy and throws.
we do drawing, stickers, jigsaws, reading,I emptied the toy box the other day and we played with everything.
Just had the biggest tantrum at bedtime, I am crying now. He was screaming and crying cos he wanted to get into his cot without pyjamas, which I would have let him, but had to change nappy first. Hated to see him crying that much.

Hopefully he is just having a bad day.
but I have to look at myself and think is it me? but I have been so patient and calm i think.

What works for our DS rather than the naughty step is time-out.

If he's throwing an excessive tantrum, he just goes to his room with the door shut for 2 mins. Usually by the end of 2 mins he's stopped throwing his paddy, or has calmed down enough that when I go in he's prepared to be reasonable again.

Also make an effort to get out as much as possible, or have friends of his round. He has a LOT of energy, and for life to be fun, he needs to burn it off.

i really hated that age,it does get better and repeat to self 'its just a phase'.
my tips for survival are:

• get out everyday, rain or shine even if its just a walk to the postbox,splash in the puddles, trip to the park.
• offer a simple choice 'are you gong to wear your blue shoes or wellies', 'shall we change your nappy here or in the bathroom'
• pick your battles,walk away from tantrums or stand in another room. naughty step for really bad behaviour (hitting,biting etc).

i would stop saying no to be honest, its not working. Distract distract distract, and explain very carefully why he shouldn't be doing something
